    My wand does drip a little but the swivel arm usually rests over the (deep) drip tray so I only get a couple of drips on the bench top.

    I did a while back I dont really trust the brand that much and they dont look that great especially the ugly pid, great value and Im sure fantastic espresso but Im a sucker for brand and aesthetics, lame huh? The cheapest iv seen w new Venus is $1090, is it risky to buy from overseas? I can save a couple hundred on one site I found. Btw do u get any problems with water leaking from the steam wand on your Venus WR?

    Have you looked at the Lelit PL41EM or PL41PEM?

    Hey thanks for your interest WR, my Silvia is at the repair shop, Im thinking I might still sell it when its fixed and maybe get a Venus. Im a bit put off now by the orione I dont want a thermoblock. Any other machined u can recommend WR?

    Made a choice W87?
    I am interested in knowing more about why people choose a premium thermoblock eg Orione. I imagine the reasons are more secondary (heat up times, no element to blow up etc) rather than primary (in the cup) but valid-ish reasons nonetheless. Snobs can be real, well, snobs always bangin on about boilers!

    I have absolutely no trouble steaming milk for up to 3 cups. The only time Ive had a problem with the angle/stumpiness(?) is if its been an inappropriate jug (huge jug with small amount of milk). 

    (check your PM - I replied to yours)

    I dont think theres a thermoblock on the market that is considered a match for silvia for quality coffee (am I misinformed?). A dual thermoblock is handy for instant steam though.

    The sunbeam 6910 is a dual thermoblock that wins plaudits on this site. The consensus would be however that silvia is better if shot quality is the only criterion. It may be a very close call but the Sunbeam is also full of electronics therefore wont last as well.

    yes i think it could be a themoblock, is that bad? Wantrancilio how do you find steaming on the venus, the steam arm looks a bit short and stumpy and seems to have a bad angle for getting a whirlpool??

    Venus works for me but costs more, as youve noted. Many seeking an upgrade from a Silvia but sticking with single boilers go for more $$ still, straight to the E61 group head machines (~$1500). Theyre invariably beautiful, as is Venus.

    Maverick priced at about Silvia level never seems to get much of a mention. That may be just a function of sales  volume but I dont think the performance of Isomacs below Venus is highly revered.

    The Mavericks boiler is pretty small - about 200-220ml? Venus is much better at 400ml.

    Orione? Never heard of it... did I read thermoblock?

    Does anyone know much about the quick mill orione? My silvia just packed it on and im thinking of an upgrade, im a bit of an aesthetics snob so im not expecting to get a much better machine than a silvia but maybe just pay a bit extra for looks including having a pressure guage, so i noticed the quick mill and maybe a isomac venus. Also is it a big deal if you dont have a 3 way valve? Because I like the look of the isomac maverick and its a bit cheaper than the machines i just mentioned
